Bush wins a GOP primary in New Jersey hands down, with 57 percent of the vote.
Former Red Cross Director Elizabeth Dole gets 10 percent and no other Republican contender
tops 7 percent.

"New Jersey has been a swing state in presidential politics, but only Bill Bradley seems
to swing it Democratic in 2000," said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac College
Polling Institute.

"Bradley exemplifies Tip O'Neill's dictum that all politics is local. His New Jersey
neighbors tell the Quinnipiac College Poll that they like him a lot more than any other possible
presidential candidate, Democrat or Republican.

"And it's a slam-dunk for the ex-Knick in a Democratic primary against Gore."

By a 61 - 11 percent margin, New Jersey voters have a favorable opinion of Bradley,
while 18 percent have a mixed opinion and 10 percent haven't heard enough to form an
opinion. Among the other possible candidates:

"Despite his claim to native son status, Steve Forbes doesn't score in New Jersey,"
Carroll said.

"Voters like Bush and Dole. In fact, Bush went from a hardly well-known candidate in
an April 1 Quinnipiac College Poll, when 36 percent of voters didn't know enough to form an
opinion, to a healthy 45 - 22 percent favorability rating today, with only 13 percent saying
they don't know enough about him.

"The other Republican contenders are no-names. The exceptions are Buchanan and
Quayle, and the bad news is the voters know them, but don't like them."

From July 13 - 20, Quinnipiac College surveyed 1,082 New Jersey residents who say
they are registered voters. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 3 percent.

The Quinnipiac College Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, conducts public opinion
surveys in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut as a public service and for research.
